Chapter 1 Spring Breeze Triumphant

Beijing, Wanda International Film and Television City.

Premiere of "Detective Chinatown".

Mr. Chen is answering questions from reporters.

“… I am very confident in this movie, both in terms of quality and box office, I guarantee that the audience will definitely be satisfied! ”

"Why are you looking for a baby to play Tang Ren? In fact, when I was writing the script, I was thinking about the baby; When we were still filming "Soldier Assault", I made an appointment with him that I would be the director in the future and he would be my actor. ”

Mr. Chen knows the audience and the media very well, and he knows how to say what will satisfy the media and the audience at the same time.

There is no doubt that the topic of 'Soldiers' friendship is still alive and well.

The original "Soldier Assault" really had a great impact on everyone, although it was not as good as "Huanzhu Gege", but Chengcai and Xu Sanduo are still the most memorable memories in the hearts of many audiences.

"Detective Chinatown" is certainly a good movie, especially since the prefix of this movie is the word domestic!

This movie fully exposes Mr. Chen's ambition in film, whether it is the fighting, funny, or suspense, it is worth mentioning.

Although it is obvious that there is a reference to other movies, Mr. Chen is indeed quite talented in being able to mix so many elements together and make effects.

The publicity aspect is also doing well.

Tong Liya has a good relationship with many hosts of Mango Channel, and Mr. Chen led the entire "Detective Chinatown" crew to appear on "Everyday Upward", and the publicity effect is quite good.

According to many media, when "Detective Chinatown" was filmed in Thailand, many domestic media went to visit the class for interviews, and Mr. Chen not only provided room and board, but also occasionally asked for warmth!

Of course, the media gave him face.

When publicizing, it is natural to report a little more and try to guide the good side.

So, on January 1, 2016, New Year's Day, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" on the first day of release was reported to be 92 million, but it did not break 100 million.

It's already very good, after all, Mr. Chen has only directed one movie, and the logic of "Northern Love" is not clear, and many people will subconsciously resist bad movies!

On the day of the release of the more important "Chinatown", the popularity of "Lao Paoer" and "Looking for the Dragon" has not decreased.

Moreover, the schedule of "Detective Chinatown" is only 27%.

So Wanda's distribution ability really needs to be improved, two sons, the schedule of "Looking for the Dragon" was cut in half by "Villain Angel", and finally "Villain Angel" has no follow-up, and it still occupies 10% of the film schedule!

On the first day of the release of "Detective Chinatown", the volume of films in that row was almost the same as that of "Lao Paoer", which had been released for a week.

But good movies, especially good commercial films, are appreciated after all.

The next day, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" soared directly to 140 million.

On the third day, there were still 120 million!

While the box office performance is more than stamina, the reputation is also very good.

Both major movie websites have ratings of more than eight points.

Probably the audience's expectations for Mr. Chen are not very high, but after watching "Detective Chinatown", I think it's really good, the laughter is dense and at the same time, it can not make people feel that it is not intended to make you laugh, and the reasoning and suspense are also in place, at least the audience did not understand until the last moment that the real murderer is someone else, respect the audience's IQ!

Teacher Chen is completely on fire.

All of a sudden, there was a bunch of Chen Blowing.

"I finally know why Tong Liya wants to marry Chen Sicheng, this guy is really talented!"

"Chen Sicheng, the next master!"

……

Faced with Chen Zan, who suddenly came up, Chen Sicheng accepted all the orders.

This movie was originally his painstaking work, and the praise of netizens and the audience should of course be attributed to him.

As for the movie's strong star lineup, Wang Baobao, Tong Liya, Xiao Shenyang, Chen He, Xiao Yang, were selectively ignored by him!

Magic City Station publicity, Teacher Chen was interviewed by the host.

"Of course, I've read all the reasoning mentioned in it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to quote it casually."

"I've always wanted to make a series of movies, the mystery detective series is undoubtedly the best choice, RB has Conan, Britain has Sherlock Holmes, I think we should also have our own detectives on the big screen in China, so I created these two characters."

"Why is it called 'Detective Chinatown?' because many scenes in the movie are unlikely to take place in China, and the domestic censorship system is too strict, so it would be much easier if I transplanted the story background to Chinatown."

"Is there a reference to director Shen Lin's "Chinatown Veteran"? Except in the selection of materials, the background investigation has been learned, and there are no other aspects. ”

"Haha, "Chinatown Veteran" is certainly a good movie, even if you look at it now, it is a very good commercial film..."

Mr. Chen's face was a little unbearable, this host always compared Shen Lin's "Chinatown Veteran" with his "Chinatown Detective"!

To be honest, Mr. Chen didn't think Shen Lin was great at first, whether it was "33 Days of Broken Love" or "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" including "Chinatown Veteran", from the director's point of view, it was ordinary, and there were almost no too difficult scenes.

It wasn't until he filmed "Interstellar" and "Carol", especially the movie "Carol", that it really tested the director's ability to control the lens and light.

As for "Interstellar", Mr. Chen has never figured out how that thing was filmed!

But "Chinatown Veteran" really doesn't seem worth mentioning in his opinion.

It's nothing more than the subject matter dominant.

Coupled with the publicity in place, Shen Lin himself has a strong box office appeal, in fact, there are not too many surprises in the movie itself, and he can shoot it if he is replaced!

"Box office projections? Of course, I hope that the higher the box office, the better, in fact, three days on New Year's Day, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" was close to 400 million, which shows that the audience likes this movie. Let me make a bold prediction, I estimate that the final box office of "Detective Chinatown" should reach 1 billion. ”

After Mr. Chen answered, neither the audience nor the host said anything.

In fact, in the eyes of most people, the quality of "Detective Chinatown" is fully worthy of a box office of 1 billion.

"Let's interview Tong Liya, Yaya, what do you think of Mr. Chen's "Detective Chinatown"?"

"Ahh Cough... Of course it's very good, thank you very much Director Chen for taking me so beautifully! ”

Tong Liya was looking down to think about something, when she suddenly heard the host call her name, and hurriedly responded.

"Director Chen? Yaya, weren't you all before..."

"That's a must, of course my daughter-in-law is the most beautiful!"

The host wanted to ask something, but Mr. Chen's face was a little unnatural, and he hurriedly took over the conversation.

"Kiss one! Kiss one! ”

The audience shouted all kinds of shouts.
